HellBender Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Yeah there are some embedded images now. But thats no problem! (You mean firefox? or still using fb?) It will always be firebird in my heart :shifty: But no, before the forum switch, I never saw a single ad here (although I allowed them to load using Adblock). Now, there's annoying TEXT ads with bright backgrounds that show up every now and then. I'll take a screenie the next time I see one. All you people who did the hosts file change--how did you figure out the new IP? I could visit Neowin fine using the old DNS entry from work, but when I came home, it went kaput and I wasn't smart enough to have written down the IP from work.

I could visit Neowin fine using the old DNS entry from work, but when I came home, it went kaput and I wasn't smart enough to have written down the IP from work. I used Netcraft to find the IP because I knew my problem was a DNS issue and they would still have an IP address, then I typed the IP they listed in. The story on the front page said if you're reading this you are still accessing the old server, so I obviously knew the listed IP was the old one. I clicked the story to read the comments and people posted the new server's IP in there. Good old-fashioned detective work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
